Buhari Would Have Been Impeached If Nigerians Were Left To Decide - Bamgbose

The National Coordinator of Concerned Advocates for Good Governance, Olusegun Bamgbose has said that President Muhammadu Buhari would have been impeached if his impeachment process were left in the hands of Nigerians.

Bamgbose who recently announced his intention to contest at the 2023 presidential election wondered how Nigerians will survive under the administration of Buhari for the next 30 months.

Acknowledging that it will be very difficult to impeach the president with the conditions laid down by the 1999 constitution (as amended), Buhari further advised lawmakers to amend the constitution and give power to the electorate that will enable them to be able to recall the president.

Bamgbose who is also a chieftain of the New Nigerian Peoples Party further pointed out since the constitution gives room for the electorate to recall their representatives at the National Assembly, it should also give the electorates power to recall the president.

“It’s a difficult task to impeach the President in view of the conditions laid down in our Constitution. There should be an alternative to this, the Constitution should be amended to provide for the recall of the President by those who voted for him.”

“President Buhari is due for recall by the electorate if the constitution had provided for it. I wonder how Nigerians can cope with Buhari’s Presidency for the next 30 months.

“It’s like spending 30 months in hell. Lives and properties of Nigerians are now at the mercy of Boko Haram insurgents, bandits, gunmen, kidnappers.”

“May God deliver us. Our lives can no longer be guaranteed. Those in their houses are not safe, those that are travelling are not really sure they won’t be kidnapped.”

“Farmers can no longer harvest or work in their farms without obtaining permission from the military. We are certainly living in hell. All our President does is to condemn and condole.”

“This is certainly not the best of time for Nigerians. We have certainly been scammed by APC. We have been trapped by promises of change, this is so sad.”

“No doubt if the impeachment of Buhari were left in the hands of Nigeria, by now he would have been impeached. One wonders how Nigerians will survive another 30 months of Buhari’s administration.”

“Nigerians should brace up for the challenges ahead. Nigerians are fed up with Buhari’s administration. They promised change but we are experiencing a crisis, we expected dividends of democracy, but difficulties have become our daily experience.”

“May God deliver us from this government given to excuses and propaganda. Nigerians never bargained for this type of government,” Bamgbose said.
